This hotel was so great. The staff were great, location was amazing, amenities were stellar. Transparently I didn’t do a lot of research before I booked so I wasn’t expecting anything and when I walked into my room I was blown away by how nice it was.

This was one of our first hotels in our visit to Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo. It was incredible and felt like a luxury boutique hotel from the moment we arrived. The location is superb and the amenities are incredible. We were truly spoiled, and felt let down by all of the other properties we stayed at after this one. Highly recommend!
